*** Bug 705292 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This works in newer versions because they use curl for fetching remote items instead of the rather limited internal ftp/http implementation which rpm 4.4.x has. Redirect support would be a new feature and is not going to be added at this point to an otherwise dead-end codebase. A more meaningful error message in case of redirects could be considered. devel_nack, see comment #2, and upon closer inspection even a more meaningful error message is not reasonably achievable as the error reporting path is rather fundamentally broken in this case and changing that would risk memory leaks + other breakage due to changes fixing it would require. Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request. |
